Human-readable representation

0123456789abcdef are the symbols which are usually used to represent hexadecimal (base16) numbers.

ulkmhpvtwgnbcdyf is what pleonasm uses - 16 letters from the English alphabet.

Thus, a815 would be written as nwlp.

The alphabet contains 10 more letters which are not used as symbols (aeijoqrsxz). They are inserted between the symbols to form proper words. In this case, the string answer loop will be created, which might be preferable to a815.

No information is lost

The created words carry the same information as the hex number and can be decoded easily back to hex. Removing the non-symbol letters and white spaces from answer loop yields nwlp, which is just a815 written with different symbols.

The dictionary that is used to create the phrases contains over 50,000 words. Given random input, words will rarely be repeated.
